"A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist."Stewart Alsop

Think about "Seven Floors," by Dino Buzzati. In this story, Giuseppe is continuously moved towards the bottom floor of the Sanitarium, which is a symbol for death. Because he is unable to accept the gravity of his illness, he is in denial until the very end.

In your opinion, is Giuseppe dying because he is moved to the bottom floor? Or is he moved to the bottom floor because he is dying? Use textual evidence to support your answer.
